Abstract

The health quality of early childhood development is closely related to the balanced diet and active physical activity in children's daily life. With the progress of life science research, the scientific comprehension of this interrelation becomes increasingly profound. Therefore, under the premise of a nutritionally balanced diet for children, this paper describes the influence of body movement on the epigenetic modification of the body. The orderly regulation of downstream functional genes plays a supporting role in the homeostasis of cell communication and tissue communication in the body, so as to ensure the good development of children's bodies. Among them, the mechanism of exercise epigenetics, including DNA methylation, histone modification, non-histone modification, epigenetic modification reader, exercise lactate metabolism and lactoacylation modification and other research progress are introduced, and the molecular basis of children's scientific physical activity is systematically clarified.
